Such a conflation is something a collectivist would applaud.<br /><br />That being said, any public or private entity that supported passing this Intolerable Act should not be surprised if free citizens decide not to support such entities.AuricTechhttp://aurictech.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-74801429685642994022013-01-16T18:12:10.196-06:002013-01-16T18:12:10.196-06:00I grew up on Eastern LI and went to college upstat...I grew up on Eastern LI and went to college upstate before the USMC got ahold of me.

First off, the Heller decision states that restrictions are ok provided they aren&#39;t arbitrary or capricious. It should be fairly easy to demonstrate that because the ban on magazine capacity and various cosmetic features do nothing to accomplish the stated aims of the law that the restrictions are therefore certainly arbitrary if not capricious.<br /><br />Further the Heller decision re-affirmed the text in the Miller decision that the 2nd amendment protects weapons that are in common use for legal purposes. Rifles make up such a small amount of NY gun crime, and this ban will affect such a large number of gun owners, that it is clear that this law is banning weapons which are in common use for legal purposes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-55722812716156096892013-01-16T13:53:46.959-06:002013-01-16T13:53:46.959-06:00I really hate boycotts.

We boycott this, we boycott that, and suddenly you can&#39;t even go to a store and buy dinner, or a fur coat, or take-out chicken.<br />I think the reason that so many Mfcts. are on the East Coast is because the EC is the home of our Constitution and all our early history. Suggesting they move West is OK, but make certain you don&#39;t suggest CA, OR or WA! Moving an entire company is an expensive proposition. <br />Even for Mfcts. home is where the heart is. Plus, now that life is going to be perfect when the new edicts are in place, many people will have a change of heart.

The local business council made the point there are plenty of machinists and technical folks living here and the taxes are much cheaper.<br /><br />I wonder if that willl be discussed in the board meetings this spring.<br /><br />Boycott Broadway or Bloomies NYC if thats your style.<br /><br />GerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-56510591636136122752013-01-16T09:13:48.163-06:002013-01-16T09:13:48.163-06:00People are the strangest animals.

But animals are smarter. <br /><br />They don&#39;t react drivin entirely by emotive rationale.<br /><br />That&#39;s exactly what the elected officials in NY State and many other &quot;Liberal&quot; domains are doing when they suddenly decide that they&#39;re protecting society by ignoring the constitution of the United States and even worse by ignoring reality.<br /><br />Prohibition was proven totally useless when the government rammed through the 18th amendment to the constitution.<br /><br />Having said that, the MSM and the Liberals will attempt to totally anailate any &quot;rights&quot; they feel threaten their vision of a new-world (Socialism) order.<br /><br />NY and other North-Eastern States are hives of anarchy and anti-Conservatism.

If they don&#39;t, then they don&#39;t deserve any support. If they do leave, they&#39;ve voted with their feet (and wallets) and left the totalitarian state behind. For that, they&#39;d deserve support.<br /><br />Honestly, I can&#39;t figure out why most of the gun manufacturers are in states like NY, IL, CT, etc. It would seem so much more logical for them to move out west, midwest, south, anywhere but in the states that have higher taxes, more gun laws and less freedom.Shrimpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-70053902714316454812013-01-16T08:24:21.917-06:002013-01-16T08:24:21.917-06:00So you&#39;ll boycott products from people who opp...So you&#39;ll boycott products from people who opposed the bill?<br /><br />The logic escapes me.<br /><br />GerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-24328400301076372202013-01-16T06:20:52.448-06:002013-01-16T06:20:52.448-06:00I think it&#39;s a good idea.
